It’s been nothing but tumbleweed here for many moons now. The good news is Botcherby’s is still alive, the database is up to date and will be kept up to date. On each of the database pages you can see the date of the most recent update. However, time has conspired against me such that the blogging side of things is on permanent hiatus. How very Doctor Who of me.

I hope the database continues to be of use to you all, and you can still contact me via email with any queries or information. I will be listening.

Whilst catching up on the audios from the end of last year, I couldn’t help but notice even more new stories piling up on my desktop. They come in waves you know.

DWAD continue their 36th season with the Earthbound futuristic story ‘Might of the Starry Sea’.

The Crossovers make good on their promise for more stories. After the recent Xmas special ‘Let it Snow’, the series proper continues with episode one of ‘West Wind’. With it’s evocative front cover.

BrokenSea continues its current season with a tale of ancient warring races and the Doctor’s attempts to preserve the time continuum. In the curiously titled ‘Quorum of Time’.

Big news for fans of the Planet Skaro series of audio plays. They have just launched a whole new website design and made the first two stories from their series available online for the first time. That is ‘Echoes of the Protii’ and ‘Soap of Fatal Death’. Not to mention all of the other stories in their now four season long catalogue presented with cover artwork and extras.

The Doctor Who Audio Dramas are one of the few groups to really embrace the primitive alien society and historical stories that hark back to early Who of the sixties and seventies. Whether there is a twist to come this time is yet to be seen. It’s also a story about how not everything is as it initially seems. The Doctor saves a child from it’s kidnappers, only to let companion Robbie hand him back to a community that will kill him. The last cliffhanger was a bit of a classic where Robbie is forcibly claimed as a wife by a warrior. If only there was an intergalactic website advising travellers only to visit if essential.

Episode two is now online, with the first part also still available on the same page. Mp3 versions are available through itunes and generally turn up in the programme catalogue section once the full story has aired.
